Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Amcor Plc

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We retain our 12-month target of $50, valuing AMCR at an EV/EBITDA of 9.3x our FY 26 EBITDA estimate. Our FY 26 and FY 27 EPS estimates are unchanged at $4.05 and $4.45, respectively. Amcor reported resilient Q3 FY2026 results, demonstrating strong execution and accelerated synergy realization from the Berry Global acquisition amid a challenging macroeconomic environment. The company posted an adjusted EPS of $0.96, a 6% increase Y/Y, and reaffirmed its full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $3.98 to $4.03. A key theme of this quarter, in our view, was the company's proactive management of supply chain disruptions and cost inflation stemming from the Middle East conflict. While management stated it does not expect a material impact on Q4 earnings, the company has strategically increased inventory levels to ensure supply continuity for customers. This decision, however, led to a downward revision of the full-year free cash flow guidance to a range of $1.5B to $1.6B, from the previous $1.8B to $1.9B.

It also needs $1.64 billion of free cash flow after achieving an outflow of $93 million in the first nine months, the note said.The analysts said they remain "cautious" on the company due to the challenging consumer and rising raw material cost environment.RBC maintained the company's stock rating at sector perform and price target at 58 Australian dollars ($41.97).Price: $40.72, Change: $+0.51, Percent Change: +1.27%

Research Alert: Amcr Q3: Strong Berry Integration Drives Eps Growth Amid Volume Headwinds

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:AMCR's Q3 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.96 rose 6% Y/Y and came in $0.01 above the consensus view, while sales of $5,914M (+77%) exceeded consensus by $170M. The Berry acquisition delivered transformational results one year post completion, contributing $2.4B in sales and $239M in EBIT with EBITDA margins expanding 80 bps to 15.1%. We view the sustained earnings quality improvement as demonstrating strategic value, with Global Rigid Packaging particularly strong at $2,664M sales (+187%) and margin expansion to 10.4% from 7.6%. Management updated FY 26 guidance to $3.98-$4.03 for adjusted EPS (~12% growth) but revised FCF expectations to $1.5B-$1.6B from $1.8B-$1.9B due to higher inventory levels amid geopolitical disruptions. AMCR targets $270M in full-year pre-tax synergies and reached six divestiture agreements under the portfolio optimization plan. In our view, synergy delivery exceeding expectations demonstrates resilient execution despite persistent volume headwinds affecting the broader packaging sector.
